Safety

Smart Parking Assist System

"Activated by a switch next to the gear knob, SPAS makes rear parallel parking a breeze by detecting available space and then automatically turning the steering wheel while providing visual gearshift instructions via the supervision cluster display
Front and rear parking sensors
Lower trim models can be ordered with sensors at both the front and rear that alert you to obstructions while parking via an audible signal that increases in intensity as your vehicle gets closer to an object"

Lane Departure Warning System

"A camera system fitted to the windscreen monitors the real-time position of the vehicle in relation to the lane. The system helps prevent unintended lane deviation by activating an audio alert if you veer outside of the lane without using the turn signal.
airbag system
Driver, passenger, front side and curtain airbags help minimize the risk of serious injury as the final line of defense in the event of a collision."

By maintaining brake grip until you press the accelerator, HAC prevents the vehicle from dangerously rolling backwards when pulling away from a standstill on an incline.
